I am using wamp server and I have following code in my final.php. I am also
adding error that appears as below after code as comment kindly check that as.
I am newer to php. I am finding simple code so that I can sent message through my account, but I don't understand why this code do not have option for password.
Is password require? Please help me on this with detail and I also need to send email to multiple users simultaneously.
<?php
require("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->From = "63yogesh#gmail.com";
$mail->AddAddress("11ce028#charusat.edu.in");
$mail->Subject = "First PHPMailer Message";
$mail->Body = "Hi! \n\n This is my first e-mail sent through PHPMailer.";
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo 'Message was not sent.';
echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent.';
}
?>
//The following From address failed: 63yogesh#gmail.com Message was not sent.Mailer error: The following From address failed: 63yogesh#gmail.com
SMTP server error: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. jw8sm18271654pbc.73 - gsmtp
The example here says you have to set several data, such as authentication:
//Username to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "yourname#example.com";
//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mail->Password = "yourpassword";
and SMTP port number:
//Set the SMTP port number - likely to be 25, 465 or 587
$mail->Port = 25;
EDIT:
This is the Basic Example using SMTP from their official site, try to edit it with your infos
require_once('../class.phpmailer.php'); //include("class.smtp.php"); //optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$body = file_get_contents('contents.html');
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 26; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "yourname#yourdomain"; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password = "yourpassword"; // SMTP account password
$mail->SetFrom('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddReplyTo("name#yourdomain.com","First Last");
$mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp, basic with authentication";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$address = "whoto#otherdomain.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachment
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
I am trying to send an email via PHP mailer and am failing miserably. The error message I am getting is as follows:
2014-08-12 12:21:40 SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. (10060) 2014-08-12 12:21:40 SMTP connect() failed. Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
My code is as follows. I do not know where I am going wrong with this. I am pretty sure all information is correct, with the exception of the port. Given this is using microsoft exchange I am using port 587 -is this where I am going wrong?
<?php
include("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$body = "HellooooO";
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Host = "My server name";
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = "My MS exchange email address";
$mail->Password = "Password";
$mail->SetFrom('My MS exchange email address', 'First Last');
$mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp, basic with authentication";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$address = "test email address";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
?>
-----------EDIT-------------------
Following Synchro's remark that I am not using the latest version of PHP Mailer, I have amended the code as follows. I am still not able to send emails and the error message is the same... How do I check whether the TLS port is open and working as expected?
<?php
require 'phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail ->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'My Server';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'My email address';
$mail->Password = 'My Password';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->From = 'My email address';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
$mail->addAddress('My Test Email address', 'Joe User');
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
Regards and thank you,

Not sure if this has been cured, however this is typical firewall behavior. You could use something like Wireshark to see if the server is recieving the request.
I am new to PHP. I was trying to send myself a sample e-mail through PHPmailer. I am using gmail's smtp server. I am trying to send a sample mail from my gmail account to my yahoo account. But I am getting the error : Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.
Here is the code :
<?php
require "class.phpmailer.php";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
$mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "myemail#gmail.com"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "mypassword"; // SMTP password
$webmaster_email = "myemail#gmail.com"; //Reply to this email ID
$email="myyahoomail#yahoo.in"; // Recipients email ID
$name="My Name"; // Recipient's name
$mail->From = $webmaster_email;
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->FromName = "My Name";
$mail->AddAddress($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($webmaster_email,"My Name");
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "subject";
$mail->Body = "Hi,
This is the HTML BODY "; //HTML Body
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body when user views in plain text format"; //Text Body
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}

I am using WAMP server on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. What could be the prob?
Please help me solve this. Thanks!
The solution of this problem is really very simple. actually Google start using a new authorization mechanism for its User.. you might have seen another line in debug console prompting you to log into your account using any browser.! this is because of new XOAUTH2 authentication mechanism which google start using since 2014.
remember.. do not use the ssl over port 465, instead go for tls over 587. this is just because of XOAUTH2 authentication mechanism. if you use ssl over 465, your request will be bounced back.
what you really need to do is .. log into your google account and open up following address
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
and check turn on . you have to do this for letting you to connect with the google SMTP because according to new authentication mechanism google bounce back all the requests from all those applications which does not follow any standard encryption technique.. after checking turn on.. you are good to go..
here is the code which worked fine for me..
require_once 'C:\xampp\htdocs\email\vendor\autoload.php';
define ('GUSER','youremail#gmail.com');
define ('GPWD','your password');
// make a separate file and include this file in that. call this function in that file.
function smtpmailer($to, $from, $from_name, $subject, $body) {
global $error;
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
$mail->SMTPAutoTLS = false;
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->Username = GUSER;
$mail->Password = GPWD;
$mail->SetFrom($from, $from_name);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->AddAddress($to);
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$error = 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
return false;
} else {
$error = 'Message sent!';
return true;
}
}
You need to add the Host parameter
$mail->Host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
Also, check if you have open_ssl enabled.
<?php
echo !extension_loaded('openssl')?"Not Available":"Available";
Solved an almost identical problem, by adding these lines to the standard PHPMailer configuration. Works like a charm.
$mail->SMTPKeepAlive = true;
$mail->Mailer = “smtp”; // don't change the quotes!
Came across this code (from Simon Chen) while researching a solution here, https://webolio.wordpress.com/2008/03/02/phpmailer-and-smtp-on-1and1-shared-hosting/#comment-89
Troubleshooting
You have add this code:
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
And Enabling Allow less secure apps:
"will usually solve the problem for PHPMailer, and it does not really make your app significantly less secure. Reportedly, changing this setting may take an hour or more to take effect, so don't expect an immediate fix"
This work for me!
$mail->SMTPKeepAlive = true;
$mail->isSendMail(); // instead of isSMTP();
On shared hosting, your mail server may occasionally experience connection issues.
Here I found solution
[Edit]
Here is the link content, in case the link stop working for some reason (it happens)
PHPMailer and SMTP on 1and1 shared hosting
I use PHPMailer on my 1and1 shared hosting account. Recently, I could not send email anymore.
I tried debugging and this is the error that PHPMailer throws:
Language string failed to load: connect_host
After googling for a solution and trying different SMTP servers, accounts and SMTP ports, I decided to switch to sendmail and it worked like a charm! All I needed to do was to replace $mail->isSmtp() with:
$mail->isSendMail()
sendMail is located in its default location on 1and1 servers : /usr/sbin/sendmail, so no change of settings was required.
Conclusion:
1and1 probably closed its outgoing SMTP ports on its shared hosting servers. Consequently, if you use PHPMailer, don’t use SMTP mode anymore.
If anyone is still unable to solve the issue, please check following thread and follow callmebob's answer.
PHPMailer - SMTP ERROR: Password command failed when send mail from my server
I fixed it ...
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/tree/5.2-stable
<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'm7#gmail.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'pass'; // SMTP password
//$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 25; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom('m7#gmail.com', 'Mailer');
$mail->addAddress('dot#gmail.com', 'User'); // Add a recipient
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
Turn on access and enjoy..! That is on Gmail account setting.
You are missing the directive that states the connection uses SSL
require ("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn of SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "YAHOO ACCOUNT"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "YAHOO ACCOUNT PASSWORD"; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "YAHOO HOST"; // SMTP host
$mail->Port = 465;
Then add in the other parts
$webmaster_email = "myemail#gmail.com"; //Reply to this email ID
$email="myyahoomail#yahoo.in"; // Recipients email ID
$name="My Name"; // Recipient's name
$mail->From = $webmaster_email;
$mail->FromName = "My Name";
$mail->AddAddress($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($webmaster_email,"My Name");
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "subject";
$mail->Body = "Hi,
This is the HTML BODY "; //HTML Body
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body when user views in plain text format"; //Text Body
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}
As a side note, I have had trouble using Body + AltBody together although they are supposed to work. As a result, I wrote the following wrapper function which works perfectly.
<?php
require ("class.phpmailer.php");
// Setup Configuration for Mail Server Settings
$email['host'] = 'smtp.email.com';
$email['port'] = 366;
$email['user'] = 'from#email.com';
$email['pass'] = 'from password';
$email['from'] = 'From Name';
$email['reply'] = 'replyto#email.com';
$email['replyname'] = 'Reply To Name';
$addresses_to_mail_to = 'email1#email.com;email2#email.com';
$email_subject = 'My Subject';
$email_body = '<html>Code Here</html>';
$who_is_receiving_name = 'John Smith';
$result = sendmail(
$email_body,
$email_subject,
$addresses_to_mail_to,
$who_is_receiving_name
);
var_export($result);
function sendmail($body, $subject, $to, $name, $attach = "") {
global $email;
$return = false;
$mail = new PHPMailer(true); // the true param means it will throw exceptions on errors, which we need to catch
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
try {
$mail->Host = $email['host']; // SMTP server
// $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host = $email['host']; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port = $email['port']; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Username = $email['user']; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password = $email['pass']; // SMTP account password
$mail->AddReplyTo($email['reply'], $email['replyname']);
if(stristr($to,';')) {
$totmp = explode(';',$to);
foreach($totmp as $destto) {
if(trim($destto) != "") {
$mail->AddAddress(trim($destto), $name);
}
}
} else {
$mail->AddAddress($to, $name);
}
$mail->SetFrom($email['user'], $email['from']);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AltBody = 'To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!'; // optional - MsgHTML will create an alternate automatically
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
if(is_array($attach)) {
foreach($attach as $attach_f) {
if($attach_f != "") {
$mail->AddAttachment($attach_f); // attachment
}
}
} else {
if($attach != "") {
$mail->AddAttachment($attach); // attachment
}
}
$mail->Send();
} catch (phpmailerException $e) {
$return = $e->errorMessage();
} catch (Exception $e) {
$return = $e->errorMessage();
}
return $return;
}
if everything fails then for gmail you must turn on access to 3rd party apps to connect to ur gmail account.
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps // turn it
on
Just make sure you passed the right parameters
eg. the correct outgoing server host, username, and password
$mail->SMTPDebug = false;
$mail->Host = 'email_smtp_host'
$mail->SMTPAuth = false
$mail->Username = 'username'
$mail->Password = 'password'
$mail->SMTPSecure 'tls'
$mail->Port = '587'
If you're using VPS and with httpd service, please check if your httpd_can_sendmail is on.
getsebool -a | grep mail
to set on
setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail on
Try adding this line to your script. This worked for me!
$mail->Mailer = “smtp”;
This is usually a result of the server not accepting SSLv2 or SSLv3 connections which is a standard for cPanel/WHM in favor of TLS only connections. You can check this by going to WHM>>Service Configuration>>Exim Configuration Manager -> Options for OpenSSL
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);
<?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;

$mail ->Body = 'a test email';
$mail->SMTPOptions = array(

if ($mail->send()){
echo "Message has been sent successfully";
}else{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>
make sure that you configure less secure app settings in gmail using this link https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and make sure you downloaded PHPMailer-master.zip from github
working fine with MAMP server locally :)
After days of searching, I found out that the protocol name needs to be in lowercase.
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; # lowercase
find the "class.smtp.php" file
original:
$this->smtp_conn =fsockopen(
$host,
$port,
$errno,
$errstr,
$timeout
);
change to:
$this->smtp_conn = #stream_socket_client(
$host,
$port,
$errno,
$errstr,
$timeout
);
I have created a web application in php . I am using PHP Mailer 5.20 class. it work fine when I use XAMPP server on my local server but when we host it on a web-server and try to send a email the it return an error i show you the error below
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out (110)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.
I tried all configuration and check all but I receive the same error on the screen.
My PHP mailer class is below
<?php require("PHPMailer_5.2.0/class.phpmailer.php");
function send_email($tomail,$message,$subject)
{
//$dbObj = new Database();
//$dbObj->connect_db();
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "smtp.mail.yahoo.com"; // specify main and backup server
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
/////////////////////////////////( USER NAME AND PASSWORD )/////////////////////////////
$email = "xyxxxxx#yahoo.in";
$mail->Username = $email; // SMTP username
$mail->Password ="xxxxxx"; // SMTP password
$mail->From = $email;
$mail->AddAddress($tomail, $tomail);
// set word wrap to 50 characters
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
// set email format to HTML
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->AltBody =$message;
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->FromName ="xyz (Online Booking Info)";
if(!$mail->Send())
{ $rr= $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
}
?>
Can some body tell me where am I wrong or miss configuration?
I have read every example out in the web and I still cant seem to connect to the GMAIL SMTP. Here is the code that I am running:
include("phpMailer/class.phpmailer.php"); // path to the PHPMailer class
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "myUsername"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "myPassword"; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$webmaster_email = "webMasterEmail#gmail.com"; //Reply to this email ID
$email="someone#gmail.com"; // Recipients email ID
$name="SomeonesName"; // Recipient's name
$mail->From = $webmaster_email;
$mail->FromName = "Me";
$mail->AddAddress($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($webmaster_email,"Webmaster");
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "This is the subject";
$mail->Body = "Hi,
This is the HTML BODY "; //HTML Body
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body when user views in plain text format"; //Text Body
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}
I tried setting the port in here and I also have the current set up with the following in the class.smtp.php file:
$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = 465;
I keep getting the same error and I have made sure that ssl is enabled. The error I get is:
SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.(10061)
As I mentioned above I had already enabled ssl by getting rid of the ; on the line with php_openssl.dll and restarting Apache. I did some more reading and I found out that some people also had "[PHP_OPENSSL]" before the enabling command. I added it and restarted Apache and everything is working! Thanks for all the comments
In php.ini:
[PHP_OPENSSL]
extension=php_openssl.dll
